For the benefit OF oyerworked house
wives we publish the following recipe
for making washing easy, which we
can recommend as one Of the best we
ever saw tried, as we have seen it
used and the results were satisfactorily
in every way;
Washday in the family would lose
all its dread, and unRleasantness, and
toll, if the ladies would adopt the fol
lowing simple plan; First, put the
clothes in a tub Of clean cold water to
wet them thoroughly; then fill the
wash pot Tor boiler) with cold water,
put in three-fourths OF a bar Of soap,
sliced np, Cor its equivalent IN soft
soap), then add three or four table
spoonfuls Of coal oil, and two OF three
tSblespoolfuls spirits Of tnrpentine,
and bring the put to boil; then, while
the pot y boiling pnt II the clothes,
that have been well vet, and boil them
one hour Then take them out and
rinse them, and they will bo perfectly
clean. When the neck and wrist
bands are very much soiled, it is bet
ter 10 rnb them with soap before put-
| ting in the pot to boil Thus All beat
ing and rubbing is avoided, and the
clothes last much longer. Try It and
you will be glad

AN exchange says: "In nearly
every case the boys who bring dis
grace and sorrow upon their parents
are those who are allowed to run the
streets at night. With the shades of
night round a boy, comes the oppOr-
tunlty for bad. associations that do
not tempt them in the broad light of
day. Evil does not stalk abroad at
MONDAY, and hence boy is not apt
to come in contact with it when the
sun, at meridian height, is the beauty
and glory of the day. Keep your boys
off the streets at night, or rather safely
sheltered in the home nest where evil
influences never enter to lead them
astray."

Succuss of No Two Men Alike No two men owe their success to the same method CT the same talents. What sends one man up in a halo of glory sends another down to the depths of obscurity What makes one man famous kills another. One man fails in one city and becomes successful in anoth, CT. One man Is success in the country and fails in the city. And so it seems throughout all depart ments of life. Sidney B.

 For the satisfaction of the Rough ton correspondent, we confess to the suitableness of our name. (though do not lay claim to all it implies). And, while We should like to have the dull reiteration of a country life, occasionally broken by an "agreeable surprise" he may feel assured that we are not any- ious enough for this to run the risk of receiving Hard Luck" in our midst. Enough of this falls naturally to us, therefore, we de cline, with all due respect, the sag gestions of last week.
